Age and Diet.

As we increase in age, when we have
spent, say, our frst-half century, less
energy and activity remain, and less
expenditure can be made; less power to
eliminate is possible at so than at 80,
still less at 60 and upward. Less nutri
ment, therefore, says Sir Henry Thomp-
som. must be taken in proportion as age
advances, or, rather, as activity dimin-
ishes, or the individual will suffer. II

President Kirkland Endorsed the
Fin.

When DR.. Kirkland was President of
Harvard College, Porter's famous hos
telry in North Cambridge was a IA
vorite resort. One of the chief attrac
tions of Porter's was the flip" a de-
lectable compound of a decidedly
splrituous flavor, which the college
students keenly appreciated, and did
not hesitate to brave the coldest
weather to enjoy. OF course these
practices did not escape the attention
of President Kirkland, who went up to
the hoStlery and asked to see the land
lord. Porter, who knew the Presi-
dent, was greatly disturbed. as he
knew he should receive a severe rebuke
from the head of the college for cater
ing to the tastes of convivially inclined
students.
''Mr. Porter" said DR.. Kirkland, Il
understand my young men come up
here and drink your flip"
Yes, sir, " replied the tavern keeper,
IN a voice which told how he deprecated
the admOnition, they do
Let me have some of that flip said
the dignified President.
Whereupon a mug of the beverage
was brought out and was tasted by
DR.. Kirkland Then, fixing a stern
glance upon Porter, who almost trem-
bled under ii, the President said:
And my young men come out here
and drink this stuff. do they?"
"YeS, sir, " meeklyreplicd the tavern
keeper.

What True Merit wlHl DO.

The unprecedented sale Of BOschee's
German Syrup within q few years. has
astOnlshed the world. It Is without
doubt the safest and best remedy ever
discovered for the speedy and efFectual
cure Of ecu 1hs, Colds and the severest
lung troubles. It acts on an entirely
different principle from the usual pre-
scriptiOns given by physicians, as 1t does
not dry up q cough and leave the disease
still In the system, but on the contrary
removes the cause Of the trouble, heals
the parts affected and leaves them In a
purely healthy condition. A bottle kept
in the houss when the diseases in ke
their appearance, will save DOCTORS bills
and long spell Of serious illness. A
trial. will convince you Of these facts

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND deserves and
Is receiving the thanks of the country
for throwing the influence and using
the power Of the government In the
preservation of the public lands for
actual settlers. he has not only forbade
the fencing Of the public domain by
cattle kings, but means TO enforce that
determination by military pressure, II
need be. An application made by the
Interior department to the War depart
ment for cavalry TO prevent these thieV-
ing entertainments has been approved
BY the President. Nothing less than
f0rceful measures, II seems, will secure
the nation from loss Of valuable lands
in vast traets. consequently the g0vern-
ment is fully justified In taking them.
The sum Of the shameful Fobberies TO
which the public lands have for years
been subjected will never be known for
the very good reason that high officers
